Carspotting: Mercedes W124 wagon


After visiting a local air force museum today, I spotted this clean wagon.  I took a shot of this not only because it's in great shape, but because it reminds me of a story my adventurous and entrepreneurial friend told me recently.

Said friend and his friend bought a W124 wagon and took a road trip through Eastern Europe.  He decided he'd finance his trip by buying cartons and cartons of black market heavily discounted Marlboro Reds in a former Yugoslav republic, stuff them in every nook and cranny in said wagon, and sell them once they returned to Western Europe.

I'll be posting my air force museum pics momentarily.
